Hey peeps,
Here is a video of something that happened a while back on the rig I am assigned to. It was recorded by the rig floor surveillance and DVR.The driller was making a connection (adding another 32' joint of drill pipe) and did not turn off his mud pumps before unscrewing from his kelly. (The rotating drive) 2300 psi and 750 GPM. No one was hurt, amazingly! The Company man added the damned music before I got it, or you would hear it. Sounded like a bomb.
